Whenever I get free time I work on my 'abstract visual debugger' project.

I've been doing that since late 2014 though, so recently I'm trying a new tack to free up some time for myself: I've been building a little desktop utility with three.js + Electron + Rust, that I'm going to sell in the Microsoft store (eventually elsewhere too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-ANWHLvARM

I'll start beta testing in about a week--definitely excited :D I'll probably do a write-up of the project and post it here as well.

Edit: just fyi, 'Lucid Disk' is a placeholder name (my bigger debugger project I mentioned is called 'Lucidity').

I have a side project that I've been working on which is re-implementing a couple of old rails4 projects that old customers still use in Phoenix/Elixir. It's been going pretty well.

I'm also working on a generative mobile game in react-native, which is fun but is taking a while to do.

I'm teaching myself music (guitar and singing)! After casually dabbling for many years and not really getting better, I decided to devote at least 30 minute a day to practice to see how far I can get in a year.

I'm making videos to track my progress (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ytq5cTCDE) and creating tools to accelerate the learning process.

Some examples:

- Chord Bunny (to learn chord transitions): https://dkthehuman.com/chord-bunny/

- Interval Trainer (to learn intervals by ear): https://dkthehuman.com/interval-trainer

I've been building out a product with two other developers for over a year now - and we're finally just a couple of weeks from launching. It's a drop in e-commerce system that allows people to start selling products on an existing site very quickly (a similar space as Snipcart). Now just building out the marketing and wondering if anyone will want to use it.

That sounds interesting. How would you compare it to something like ShopLocket? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtsDPgOkQ-0

Good question. The biggest difference is that we're not relying on specific embeds, particularly iframes, to display products. We've tried to go a step above generating one off "Buy now" buttons, and instead you get a fully baked e-commerce system - a shopping cart, user account system, configurable taxes, live shipping quotes, etc.

working on my crippling depression / ADHD, unemployed (i don't want to work anymore in anything) 6 months , 0 productivity. learned a lot of category theory, functional programming and c++ tho.

are you lifting weights and exercising? If not get on it ASAP. Revert back to the physical-activity-heavy lifestyle of our ancestors and you'll feel better

This looks nice, I use GrandPerspective for this task currently but your UI looks beautiful and useful.
